Charlotte’s Got A Lot

Disclosure: My family and I were hosted by the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority and the Cabarrus County Tourism Center in exchange for this fabulous review.

AFM Charlotte 

Wow, where do I start? This past weekend was amazing and so beyond anything I could have imagined. What started out at first as a work event for my husband became so much more. I never knew that when I contacted the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority for help with our trip that it would turn into such a fabulous review for my whole family. Plus I get to showcase part of the state that I am so proud to be born in and to call home. Being from North Carolina is one thing that I am totally proud of I am still in awe at all that my state has to offer. I am discovering new places every day.

So onto the weekend when I contacted the Visitors Authority I never knew that we would be staying at the Great Wolf Lodge in Concord/ Charlotte much less being able to visit so many exciting attractions. So many things happened this weekend that putting it into one post would not do justice to that beautiful city. So instead I decided to split it up and give each place that we encountered on our weekend an individual post. I never knew that I would get a series out of this weekend but that is what it has become.

First I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you how awesome the staff at the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority and the Cabarrus County Tourism Center are. I worked one on one with one of their communications specialists to make this trip fun as well as educational. Because you know being a teacher I am always looking for fun ways to teach children and in a city like Charlotte there are a lot of fun things to do and see. So I hope that you enjoy the series on Charlotte and like their website says Charlotte’s Got A Lot. So make sure to turn in to find out more about our wonderful adventures to this big city with an even bigger heart.
